To say the Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Boston Celtics in Game 2 is an understatement. The Cavs embarrassed the Celtics on their home floor with a 130-86 win.

There really aren’t enough adjectives to use to describe what happened in Boston on Friday night. This video of J.R. Smith hitting a fade-away shot at the buzzer sums up the night in a couple seconds.

LeBron James led the way once again for the Cavs. He had another typical 30 point performance on 12 of 18 shooting in 32 minutes. Kyrie Irving also had it going offensively. He finished with 23 points on 8 of 11 shooting. Kevin Love had another strong outing with 21 points and 12 boards.

The Celtics didn’t get much help from their all-star point guard in Game 2. Isaiah Thomas finished with just 2 points on 0 of 6 shooting from the field. He didn’t play the second half because of a lingering hip injury. Al Horford was the only Celtic starter to score double digit points with 11.

The Celtics will try to regain their dignity as they travel to Cleveland for Games 3 and 4. Here’s what we learned from the massacre.
